There is a sealed date for it. Which hat it went into is not clear but I imagine it was was worn on the beret, There was a pre-WW1 w/m one worn on the No1 Dress cap shown in pre-war photos alongside the bz one on khaki caps,
The 193o's one would have coincided with the khaki peaked cap, side cap in 1940 and GS cap in 1943.
